What are ARTHUR, SCION, FACT or FURY?
ARTHUR is the Union main computer AI. SCION is the ‘secured’ Union computer AI. FACT is the main computer AI for the Feds, and FURY is the ‘secured’ Fed computer AI. Though they are usually @emit’d by admin limited use by players is allowed, i.e. using them to get facts. Most of the time ARTHUR and FACT should be used; SCION and FURY are fairly special-purpose and usually relate to high-security things such as changing clearance codes or using high-powered weapons or other CoC matters. That said, Elites still interact with SCION and FURY at times. The AI’s are fully sentient and can actually live with their personal memories outside of the mainframe (making it possible for them to be ‘saved’ should the computer ever be damaged or destroyed). There are several independant copies of each unit in existance; however, most of the time we only interact with those at Union HQ and Confed HQ. These are referred to as ‘0’ units – for instance, ARTHUR unit 0.
